My colleague and I decided to vacation in the nation of the Philippines. Many say that the land is magnificent and picturesque. Our planning for this trip began weeks before we boarded the plane. For this article you will find out about some of the things my business associate and I have addressed so that we could take a trip to Manila.
At the top of the list was to shop around months in advance for cheap airline tickets. Websites are a great place for finding good prices. About two of our friends have traveled overseas recently so we asked for their input. We also asked them where they managed to get their airline ticket and whether they believed the cost they paid was a bargain. Another thing I did was we monitored the newspapers to learn if anyone was selling reasonably priced tickets. Similarly, around our town and checked some ticket agencies. Having found a good and low-cost contact from which to buy boarding passes, we took the next step.
I told our employer that we that we would be going on a trip. The supervisor agreed with us taking this trip. In expectation of the journey overseas we checked our appointment book for important dates. It was decided that during that month that we planned to travel no critical assignments were booked. I had a few fees that would be overdue so I made plans to pay it off immediately. I will leave one of my cousins my house key and ask him to go my home to look things over since I am away. I don't have a cat but if I did I would ask somebody to keep the pet for me while I travel internationally.
I thought we had considered all important issues but a friend believed that we needed to verify the expected weather conditions to find out what the weather could be in the country at the time of our visit. The Philippines at times experiences heavy downpours which can result in rivers of water. As a result, we researched the regions of the nation we are planning to see to determine if the conditions would be ideal. This information alone allows us to decide if the trip is feasible.
Before the journey my business partner has decided to acquaint himself with the language. Filipino (Tagalog) is widely understood. During the following several weeks we plan to improve our Tagalog speaking skills by quizzing one another. Every other day during free time at the job we plan to memorize and learn several new expressions each day.
Here are a list of several Tagalog vocabulary to become familiar with.
Excuse me - Ipagpaumanhin mo
green - luntian / berde
red - pula / rojo
section - seksyon
cancel - paghinto
seasoning - pampasarap
games - palaro
streets - kalye
The two of us plan to have fun in the PhPhilippineshilippine islands. We know someone who has a house in the Philippines. We plan to stop by him for a day or two and perhaps he can be our guide on the weekends. The departure day is not too distant and we are excited about the trip. Over a month left before we get on the flight but I have already started setting aside some of the accessories I plan to take. I most definitely plan to pack my Tagalog vocabulary book. There will be many native speakers therefore I wish to find out more of the Filipino language.
